Arthur Hayes: BTC could rise to $1 million by 2030, but ETH is his current top pick.

2026.09.02 22:48:28

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes said Bitcoin is now positioned to hit $1 million before 2030, with potential catalysts including possible large-scale monetary easing following an AI bubble burst and the U.S. implementing yield curve control. He believes $58,000 could mark the current cycle’s bottom, with BTC set to rise gradually afterward. However, Hayes’ top crypto pick right now is ETH. He argues ETH offers a better risk-reward ratio than HYPE and could surge 3 to 5 times in value over a relatively short period. His reasoning: Ethereum remains the foundational layer of DeFi, and as a major crypto asset, ETH has yet to break its 2021 all-time high, leaving it relatively underfollowed and undervalued. Hayes added that Hyperliquid is now fully priced in by the market, with investors holding high expectations for the project, so HYPE’s price no longer has the asymmetric upside it once had — though this doesn’t mean it can’t continue rising. He also noted that Trump’s comments have had a limited impact on Bitcoin’s price, advising investors to focus instead on actual actions by Bessent, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, and other monetary authorities.

Crypto and investment firms tied to the Trump family are pre-emptively bracing for investigations following the Democratic Party’s midterm elections.

According to Bloomberg, as the U.S. midterm elections approach and the likelihood of Democrats regaining at least one chamber of Congress rises, cryptocurrency, venture capital, and prediction market firms linked to former President Trump and his family are strengthening their legal and lobbying teams to prepare for potential congressional investigations. The firms in question include the Trump family co-founded crypto project World Liberty Financial, prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi, Changpeng Zhao, and venture capital firm 1789 Capital. Some of these companies have hired prominent lawyers and lobbyists, several of whom have ties to Democratic lawmakers. Democrats have previously demanded relevant information from World Liberty Financial and 1789 Capital, and asked the U.S. Department of Justice to clarify the circumstances surrounding Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao’s receipt of a Trump pardon. Democratic lawmakers have said that if they secure a congressional majority, they will use investigative and subpoena powers to examine potential conflicts of interest between the Trump family’s business interests and government policies, including whether the firms have obtained government contracts or other special treatment. The report points out that the ongoing investigations still face obstacles, including some evidence and documents being located overseas, and uncertainty over whether federal agencies such as the Department of Justice will take further action. The involved firms maintain that their business activities are in compliance with the law.
